Q: I’ve just had a baby, when can I have my next intimate waxing treatment?

 

A: This is a very common question asked by soon-to-be and new mothers. The most important factor before any treatment is done is that you are comfortable and that the treatment chosen is suitable for the moment.  It some cases it may be better for you to wait a little longer before having the treatment. It is so important to acknowledge your concerns and also let you to decide if you want to wait a little longer before having their first treatment. Your comfort and trust is vital in ensuring to continue to have a positive waxing experience. As for when you can have her first intimate waxing post-pregnancy depends on the type of birth.

 

 If you had a natural birth, it is generally safe to have the first intimate wax after eight (8) weeks from giving birth. This includes all the types of intimate waxing, from a classic bikini to a Hollywood. Eight (8) weeks generally allows the new mother to have a good time to recover and heal. 

 

If you had a C-section, it is also possible to have the first intimate wax eight (8) weeks after giving birth. Extra care is needed when working near and around the area of the scar. And because hair does not grow on scars, it does not need to be touched, so do not put any wax there. In all cases, it is very important to maintain a continual dialogue between us , checking how you feeling and if there is any unusual discomfort. 

 

If you have had a tear or episiotomy during childbirth, it is advised to wait six (6) months before doing a full Hollywood wax (all off). In order to do a full intimate wax like a Hollywood, the scar needs to be fully healed and not be causing her any issues. Though, you can have a bikini and extended bikini wax in the meantime.
